This version is older, in her early 40s, with far less patience for the "Lordaeron reclamation" sect than her predecessor. The hated of undead remains, and she's a member of the Argent Dawn. At some point she'll get involved with the Kirin Tor somehow for Khadgar shenanigans. 3/

Kelly Haldimand was raised around the vestiges of the Silver Hand, her formative years took place before Lordaeron fell and the undead became the threat they are now. She was initially to train as a mage, then The Light called and she took to wielding the fires of Retribution, instead. 2/

Kelsea's origin story was that she fled Lordaeron with her grandmother during the plague and eventually wound up in Stormwind with a boatload of trauma and a fascination with the Scarlet Crusade. She was a fire mage, eventually became a paladin. I'm likely gonna reboot her. 1/

At some point in Aurelia's career, she earns a Christopher Pike Medal of Valour and it fucking enrages her because: "You sons of bitches speak of him as if he's already dead, but he's RIGHT HERE IN THIS FUCKING ROOM." She spends much of her life fighting Starfleet for proper medical care for him.

Leah's partners, in most universes, are much larger than she is even when they're 20-30 years older so, in short, yes. The primary problems Leah has across verses are: Trek: strong enough but not tall enough (she's 5', her captains are 6' or so) FFXIV: see above The Boys: arthritis

I ran an acorn foraging workshop today for a colleague’s food history class! Knowing some students would inevitably come face to face with their first acorn weevil while cracking nuts, I made a few little pins as prizes for weevil-finding 🐛
Four round black pins with smiling weevil larva painted on them, and gold lettering saying “fear no weevil”

My bedroom is TINY. My belongings are generally stashed in boxes and drawers because I haven't had space to really own things since I sold my house in 2014. I've gotten rid of a LOT over the years, need to get rid of more, but have no room to organize. Siiiiiiiigh.

Asked elsewhere how I think folks should respond: * Refuse to treat obvious bad faith hitpieces like they're a sign of any real wider issue that needs some internal reckoning. Reality check those falling for it. * Go on the attack against the real problem: propagandists who pull this kind of shit.

BEHOLD! I finally settled on the design of the ship. Presenting: USS Celeste (NCC- 74642) ✨✨✨ I wanted the ship to look sleek and organic, like a swimming sea creature, and I think I'm finally satisfied with the design. #StarTrek #OriginalArt #Celeste I almost forgot why I avoid drawing vehicles🫠
A few drawings of the spaceship from the artist's original Star Trek series. The ship is primarily steely blue, with accents of a darker grey and black that make it look like a swimming cuttlefish or a grey alien head.The color of the lights on the nacelles are yellow and blue

Top: Worm's eye view of the ship, but the viewer is getting the rear-right view of the ship, so, basically the underside of the nacelles and the right side of the secondary hull. Windows can be seen on the facade.

Middle left: Another worm's eye view, but this time it's the front of the ship. The bottom of the secondary hull has a black y shape, that surrounds the warp core. The bottom of the primary hull is lined with a thin golden line that makes a bat ears shape. Right under where the ears meet, the registry number of the ship is written (NCC-74642)

Middle right: Blue prints of the ship: Side elevation at the top,Top view at the bottom. The views make she ship look like an abstract cuttlefish with eyes on the side, and fountain pen like sign at its head.

Bottom: Bird's eye view of the ship, from the right. Top of the saucer section can be seen, it has two black eye like shapes at it's sides, a a black semi oval shape at the front of it's head, intersected with a tiny white circle and a thin while line. It makes the black shape look like the head of a fountain pen. There are two symmetrical geometrical grey accents to it, sort of like the back of a sea turtle. Right below the black shape at the front, the ship's registry number is written (NCC-74642), slightly warped to match the curve.

Background: Dark blue space, with lots of stars.
